God's truth. I hope whatever fucking retard first came up with the idea of replacing every control in your car with a single giant touchscreen got maimed and disfigured in a car crash. Not only is it incredibly gay to operate everything in your car via a glorified smartphone but the complete lack of any kind of feedback other than visual means it distracts you from the road by design, which is dangerous and REALLY dumb.
There's also the anti-consumer ransomware angle: having every single control and feature of the car defined in software (as opposed to having hardware buttons) means the manufacturer can remove features from your car and fuck with your preferences at will unless you pay a subscription fee or something. Neat huh?
the lack of hardware controls is what really fucks my ass, especially in regard to car touchscreens which is an issue i never thought i'd have to deal with until recently
those things crash, often, especially in freezing weather, and when you don't have any manual way of resetting it you're stuck sat there parked like a retard waiting for it to work
while the shitty music of whoever used the car before you is blaring in the background, because that too, you can only turn off digitally
From speaking with Apple users, the general consensus does seem to be that "Apple devices don't work with anything else" which means once you have one device, you gotta have every device you want connected to it be an Apple device
What I don't get is... Why do you want all you devices connected together? Just how racist are Apple devices? Will they not even, say, send files over to another device? Or connect via Bluetooth or something? If so, why would you not determine that you iPhone is the problem and get a different phone next time, as opposed to thinking the issue is with everything else you own. And if that's not the case, why do you need your phone to be able to operate you tablet, smart tv, iVibrator and wine distillery all at once?
In the words of a wise, bald little man: Who needs it?
You think it's bad trying not to run over pedestrians while you play Tetris on the Tesla
Fuck man you know what you just made me consider
Many people already struggle with a need for overstimulation, how many people you think are gonna need to play games on their tablet while they drive
) that it's maybe not as bad as other parts of the internet because pen autists seem to skew middle aged and male, while TikTok skews young and female.
